There will be 4 activities this week. All events start on Thursday, August 25, at 12:00 AM, SST. Good luck. ;-)

1. Sleuthetania Scavenger Hunt - All team members will board the Sleuthetania and hunt for a list of items that will be provided to them on the Sleuth Talk boards Thursday morning. As with the other hunts, once a team member has found the first item on the list, stored the item to the Agency locker, and sent a screenshot or copy/paste of the reward page to Riza, team members may proceed to look for the next item on the list. The team with the most items found gets 10 points. Team with the second highest amount found gets 7. Third gets 5. Fourth gets 3. PLEASE REMEMBER: Once you are on the boat, you CANNOT access your Agency, so clean out your locker before you board the ship. Riza will be expecting a screenshot of each team's locker before Thursday.

All teams may do a MAXIMUM of *TWO* trips on the Sleuthetania. You have until Wednesday, August 31, 11:59 PM, SST, to complete this activity.


2. Journal Pages Hunt - While on the boat, all members will do a hunt for Journal Pages. We have recorded each person's current collected Journal Pages. On Thursday, September 1, around 12:00 AM, SST, we will again compile a list of everyone's collected Journal Pages. All participating players get 3 points (this means you have to collect at least ONE Journal Page to get the participation points). The player with the most Journal Pages collected gets 10 points. Player with the second most Pages collected gets 7 points. Player with the third most Pages collected gets 5 points. Player with the fourth most collected Pages gets 3 points. And yes, there can be more than one point winner on the same team.


3. Introduction Creation Contest - Each team will create and submit TWO intros. One MUST be set on the Sleuthetania, and have a nautical theme. The second MUST have an Olympic theme of some kind. Spelling and grammar will be taken into account.

Can I try this again
I was dining with Captain Abraham Pequod. The meal was delicious. The menu included my favorite, Lobster à l'Americaine. Dessert was light; just fresh fruit and cream.

After enjoying the decadent food, others from the Captain’s Table invited me to the Albatross for drinks. We told stories, laughed and had just enough alcohol to get superbly buzzed. Promising to stay in touch after leaving the Sleuthetania, we left.

On the way to my room, I heard a man let loose a dreadful scream. My mind cleared, I ran toward the dire sound. Turning a corner, I saw a man standing in the hall. He was pale as a cadaver and his jaw was silently jittering with shock. One arm extended, a shaky hand pointed into the cabin. I got closer but he didn’t acknowledge my presence. Looking inside, the rich food eaten just hours before curdled in my guts.

Laying on the bed, neck at a cruel angle, was an albatross. The white plumage stood out starkly from the red blood around the body. Looking closer, I saw the neck had been broken, then slit, allowing the blood to drench the duvet. The pattern of the blood indicated that, whoever had done this demented deed stood over the bed, and drained the blood onto it.

Later, talking to Jeffrey Bedenbaugh, I learned he had been receiving death threats. He'd boarded the ship in an attempt to escape the would-be killer. It seemed the attempt had been a failure, I thought dryly, but promised to look into the matter.

The next day, I talked to the Captain and some passengers, then went to the new room Jeffrey had been given. Drawing close, I noted the door wasn't fully closed. Dread filled me. I slowly opened the door, knowing there was no need to call out. He lay on the bed, covered in blood, mouth frozen in an eerie, silent scream. Twisted around the body was a heavy shipping rope.

Hearing a noise, I turned to find a small woman behind me, face frozen in a horrid mixture of terror and grief which I hope to never see again.
“Who are you?” I demanded. My inquiry jolted the woman out of the shock. She s

“Who are you?” I demanded. My inquiry jolted the woman out of the shock. She said, “I’m Pamela Bedenbaugh. I am..,was Jeffrey’s Wife. I was traveling with him because he was so afraid.”
“No passenger I questioned reported seeing him with anyone. If you were such good friends, why did no one see you?” I asked.
“He didn't want whoever it was to see me. I tried to stay together, for safety you know,” glancing up to make sure I understood. I gave a small, nod to keep her talking. “But he was firm about not being seen together. I was coming to check on him before going to bed.
“Do you have any ideas about who killed him?"

Sorry for messing up these boards royal today. That was me posting Autumns intro, and making huge mistakes trying to beat the deadline.

On another note the first one was a joint effort between myself and Autumn.

I'm sorry I'll have to judge in the editor's section, I lose the plot every time I see Murray Arty's face spring up.

This'll be a tough one for me to judge - yes, to all of you, I'm also a judge - however, I'll try to refrain from opening my mailbox today, since the judging will take a bit of time :)

I'm sorry to see that Feminine Assassins only posted one intro... but hey, who knows :)

Intros are usually in the beginning. In these case they're at the end. The irony!
